    La médecine fœtale réalise une synthèse du savoir et des moyens de chacun des spécialistes au service d'un enfant à naître porteur d'une pathologie. Si chaque spécialiste a une connaissance approfondie d'un type de pathologie, cela ne suffit pourtant pas pour l'appréhender correctement car il faut l'inscrire dans le contexte du fœtus. Les explorations prénatales lui sont spécifiques : prélèvements, imagerie, biologie, génétique. Cet ouvrage rassemble pour l'obstétricien, l'échographiste, le pédiatre, le généticien et la sage-femme, toutes les anomalies et pathologies pouvant être décelé lors de la grossesse. Les auteurs évoquent pour chaque groupe de pathologies les moyens à mettre en œuvre pour évaluer le pronostic, optimiser l'accueil de l'enfant et, dans certains cas, traiter in utero.
